Wanted To Lyrics

Sitting across from you at the bar

Praying to God that my instincts are sharp

I put on my best face, batted my eyes

Anything to keep you in my line of sight

Visceral chemistry

No way it's only me

Feeling the world slip away

When you take one look at me

Reluctant integrity

Stops me from kissing your face

But I wanted to

I wanted to

You climbed right out of my perfect dreamscape

Now all I do is curse the gods of fate

Cause you got a girlfriend, pretty and thin

Wonder if she knows the state that I'm in

But we're perfect symmetry

The banter is poetry

How do I just walk away

From someone who's made for me?

But he's got a lady

I hold back from taking her place

But I wanted to

I wanted to

I've never been one to plead

But you make a mess of me

I want you more every day

The good girl inside of me

Stops me from coming clean

And telling you I love you this way

But I wanted to

I wanted to

Ah

Ah

I wanted to

Sitting across from you at the bar

Praying to God that my instincts are sharp
